<h1>What can I find in the Knowledge Base?</h1>
<br />
<p>The Knowledge Base is a starting point for Health IT software developers to support their efforts to develop and implement systems that use standards in order to comply with meaningful use requirements.  The Knowledge Base includes: 
</p>
<ul>
  <li>Frequently asked questions, authoritative responses, and real life examples.</li>
  <li>Links to related pages for each standard, vocabulary, meaningful use measure, or test tool. This allows developers to drill down to find more detail about their topic of choice.</li>
  <li>Lists of external resources such as balloted implementation guides, datasets for testing, or documents stored within the <a href="http://wiki.siframework.org/home" target="_new">S&amp;I Framework wiki</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Standards I&amp;T Platform coordinates efforts with a team of experts in the standards community (e.g. <a href="http://www.hl7.org/" target="_new">Health Level Seven International (HL7)</a>, <a href="http://www.w3.org/" target="_new">Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C)</a>) who author, review, and approve content before it is published to the Knowledge Base.
